A Minute Before

Time is not always a friend,
In time would ur wounds mend?
Fate isn’t always kind.
Can you leave the past behind?
You’ve known her for longer,
Your heart still wanders,
To memories that linger,
Of you and her together.

Would you have loved me more,
Or stab my heart with a knife,
Had I met you a minute before,
The moment she entered your life?
Would you have chosen me, wherefore,
Put an end to my inner strife,
Had you seen me a minute before,
The moment she entered your life?

Yes, she looks lovely,
Yes, she is very pretty,
She may also smile sweetly,
But she’ll never love you completely.
Are you so blind not to perceive,
That you are a part of me?
I’d love you endlessly,
But she’s still all that you can see.

Leaving no space for me,
She filled up your heart.
But will we ever be-
Now that you’re apart?

(...Of being in love with a person whose heart is lost in the past..)
